Absolutely. Masters of Doom was a compelling read. And reread.

I had made a mental note some years ago to buy a copy of the font. It seems like a good time to do so.

What an awesome thread. I am blown away, inspired.

Well, that's good, Truecrypt mode worked for me. I'll start switching over now in Truecrypt mode, and eventually will create VeraCrypt volumes and move everything over.

by kinleyd 10y ago
Yup, will do that too. Thanks.

by kinleyd 10y ago
Thank you. I think it's time to switch over from TrueCrypt.

Can it use existing TrueCrypt volumes without modifications?

by kinleyd 10y ago
The pleasure is all mine. It's looking good - I'm looking forward to seeing it evolve in the days ahead. And take care.

Yes, that's right. It's worked for me as a reasonable replacement for kat for now. Also, the site isn't anywhere near as good as kat but I'm sure given a little more time they'll improve. Or someone else will come u

No, not the admin. Just been searching around since kat's been gone.

I have a shorter checklist but the result is the same as yours. I guess I'm more efficient. Others wonder why I carry a phone at all - I don't know why.

Yes, from everything I've read, the key to grasping a new motor skill is to break it up in chunks and then to really slow it down. This has worked for me, and the interesting thing I noticed is that if I don't break it down and do

The idea of the 10,000 hour rule has been quite a motivation for me, but you do put your arguments very well. Like most people I've never taken the 10,000 hours as an absolute yardstick, just that you will be rewarded in proportion t

With focused, deliberate practice, I'm hoping I crack the electric guitar in 5001. :) But seriously, I know it's the journey that's more important - the heuristic really does give me confidence when I look at where I am and w

I started two years, after I'd crossed 50, with the same conviction. Outliers, The Talent Code and Talent Is Overrated were what inspired me. I believe there is natural talent, but it's much rarer than we like to believe. Persever

Thank you for the reference to the Cambridge Handbook. Having read The Talent Code and Talent Is Overrated, both of which I recommend, I look forward to this one as well.

Game against Man United starting now. Good luck! I'm rooting for Leicester!

by kinleyd 10y ago
Enjoy the ride! I'm enjoying the spectacle of Leicester and Tottenham's great run this year after the bottom fell out for some of the bigger clubs I normally support. It's fantastic - and I hope both can sustain the pace in t

And Kasper's dad goes ballistic (in the best possible way) as a tv commentator every time Leicester plays! He has to be one proud dad.

Termux got me Emacs (that works, a very current version, and a lot more) on my Android phone. It's really nice, especially with a Bluetooth keyboard.

by kinleyd 11y ago
Am I glad I didn't miss this post! I've been looking for a usable emacs setup on Android for a long time. Termux just worked out of the box.

Certainly a very different and eye catching title. Thanks, and in the spirit of the article, et tu, agronaut!

He's also very friendly and helpful on the ledger forum. Looks like an excellent choice for Emacs.

mpd + ncmpcpp is my favourite too. It's made my music so easy to access, while allowing me to organize it the way I like it - by directory.

The Talent Code is a fantastic read. Just want to add an extra big thank you for the reference.

You were right about my inconsistent meditation - it has to do with my procrastination. Ironically, when I do meditate the experience is wonderful and so are the hours afterwards. And yet... I'm familiar with the notion of the 10,000 h

@hosh, /|\ I have nothing else to say except that I deeply appreciate your time.

Thanks for this and the follow on posts. I've been inconsistent in my meditation, and have been consistent with it only during periods of extended freedom, usually between jobs or tasks. I've not had the discipline to stick with i
